EX Computerized Flat Knitting Mach ine with Six-System Tandem Capa bility NewSES A PAIR OF VERSATILE SIX-SYSTEM MACHINES FOR HIGH PRODUCTIVITY. The NewSES236FF and NewSES236-S are versatile, high-speed machines featuring six knitting systems for very high productivity. Both feature a 90-inch ( 229-centimeter ) knitting width and tandem operation as a twin triple-system machine. High-speed productivity of the NewSES236FF, in particular, approaches that of circular machines. The NewSES236FF also boasts the capability to perform ultrafine gauge ( E16~18) flatbed knitting, allowing lightweight garments with multi-colored patterns. The full sinker system featured on the NewSES236-S further offers impressive pattern variations as well. High production quality and consistency can be assured on both NewSES236 models with the optional DSCS® Digital Stitch Control System. Finally, with newly revamped NewSES features, both models provide increased memory capacity, a user-friendly control panel with improved interface, and even higher productivity. 234FF Knitting Width Knitran® Systems UltraLightweight Carriage Tandem Operation Belt-Drive Operation Tough Needle Bed 236FF Gauge Range 236-S Gauge Conversion Solenoid Needle Selection Stitch Presser Knitting Technology All-new controller and LCD monitor The Shima Seiki spring-type moveable full sinker system The NewSES236FF and NewSES236-S machines feature a brand-new computer-control unit with a significant increase in memory capacity. The NewSES controller boasts 50% more capacity as compared with the previous SES line, at 12,582,912 bits or 1,024 wales×4,096 addresses. In addition to floppy disks, the new controller can accept USB memory input, further increasing data capacity for knitting complex knits. Also standard is a network interface which opens up new possibilities in filesharing and production management using Shima Network Solutions. A backup power supply is also standard, allowing work to resume after power failures. The new control panel features a simple monochromatic LCD monitor with an improved graphic interface for intuitive operation. The eyelevel display offers improved ergonomics, while menu-interactive function buttons offer easy input and editing. The menu also features multilingual capability, available in 10 languages. The NewSES236-S features our original springtype moveable full sinker system, based directly on the proven sinker configuration found in our glove knitting machines. Unlike conventional forced-operation type sinkers, the spring-type mechanism provides gentle holddown movement which prevents the fabric from being subject to undue force. Consequently, significant improvements in quality and texture for complicated structure patterns and dimensional fabrics are achieved. And with the combined use of our stitch presser, pattern variety previously unimaginable with conventional sinkers can now be had with ease. Tandem capability for 6-system or 2× 3-system operation Our six-system machines incorporate twin carriages, each with a triple-system setup featuring two Knitran® systems and an extra knitting system. While both carriages can be used together along the entire width of the needle bed for knitting wide panels in six-system mode, the carriages can be separated into two triple systems for knitting two identical pieces simultaneously. Tandem operation capability thereby allows the machine to perform two separate roles, significantly increasing the versatility and flexibility of the machine.

Considered one of the most significant breakthroughs in flatbed knitting technology, our ® patented DSCS continuously adjusts yarn feed and tension to yield loop consistency with tolerance to within a remarkable ± 1%. The result is quality control capability that is virtually impossible with conventional analog systems. In addition to being an essential element in quality-controlled ® shaping and integral garment production, DSCS allows consistency among different batches and repeat orders as well.
